People sneaking up on you?

Ok, so today a lady and her dog ran directly up to me. I was hunched over harvesting an isolated spot. I heard them coming so I tucked my knife away, stood up, and moved away from the spot so I'd just look like a hiker. I said hello and made some stupid small talk about dogs as calmly as I could despite a massive adrenaline rush and my heart pounding in my chest.
She mentioned she was training this working dog for search and rescue. She let the dog follow my scent about 50 meters out of sight from the main trail. However the lady seemed uninterested in what I was doing so I played it off like it was no big deal. She left, I waited until she was some distance off, then quickly finished my business and got the fuck out of there. She didn't see my car, and I was bundled up (cold and rainy) so she didn't get a decent look at my face.
Has anyone ever been in a similar situation? Is my spot compromised? What are the chances someone who trains working dogs for search and rescue would tip off law enforcement?

It's clear that you've only got one viable option in this situation, OP
You need to flee the country immediately

You have nothing to worry about, OP. Carry on with your business.

Hell yeah I have, but I got EXTREMELY lucky! When I was 16 I had a medium-sized outdoor garden, consisting of around 50 large marijuana plants. One evening I was at my garden watering my plants, and a helicopter came flying over, just barely above the tree tops. I'm almost positive it was law-enforcement. They saw my plants and then circled the grow-site a couple times.
The plants were in the middle of a patch of phragmites, and they were in large black pots with chicken-wire around 'em. They stuck out compared to the surrounding vegetation. Anyway, I was sure that I was f**ked. However, nothing ever happened. My garden never got destroyed, and no raid was ever carried-out. I think it's because they could tell that I was just a kid, so they never did anything about it.
Btw, I thought this thread was about magic mushrooms until learning sponge mentioned poppies. I was also tripping when I replied to this thread the first time. That being said, I still don't think you have much to worry about. Just be careful of hidden camera traps on tree trunks and stuff.

Wow that's insane! I've been buzzed by camp and the coast guard before and nothing has come of it. I think they just like to keep tabs on people. Call me tinfoil, but surveillance is only going to increase in 2015 as the FAA allows drones to be used domestically (depending on what state you're in). I'm wary of cameras, and thinking of placing my own motion-activated ones.

If I was after poppies I would have joined the military.
